Dame Vivienne Westwood joins protesters at Assange extradition hearing

Fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood joined protesters outside a south London court to mark the first day of Julian Assange’s extradition hearing.

About one hundred people have gathered outside Woolwich Crown Court as Assange appears before a magistrate for the start of his fight against extradition to the United States, where he is accused of helping to leak hundreds of thousands of classified documents.
